Wednesday 1st February 2012

Blue sky with a bitingly cold wind from the northeast. Would there be wave today. It wouldn’t dare as Wednesday instructor is away in Portugal at the moment.

Richard Williamson , one of our younger pilots, spent some of his day trying out a new camera and long lens. I think his photos speak for themselves.

Plenty of members at the club today kept instructors Don and David busy. the solo pilots gave both the K8 and Zugvogel a good workout. Every inch of the local area was explored as our pilots searched for the illusive wave but, despite all sorts "it almost” worked stories, they had to put up with extended circuits. Good effort – better luck next time.

Continuing my review of glider pilots headwear, I captured this photo of new club secretary Sandra Buttery sporting a faux fur hat. A puzzling choice for someone who was an animal welfare officer in her previous career?

Sandra sporting the winning hat.
